telnet_suboption(4)      Driver Applies       telnet_suboption(4)

NAME
     telnet_suboption - process telnet suboptions

SYNOPSIS
     void telnet_suboption( string buffer );

DESCRIPTION
     This apply is called on  the  interactive  object  with  the
     parameter  given  by  the  SE  telnet  suboption, for mudlib
     defined processing.  For example,  this  allows  for  future
     support of terminal types.

     The first byte of the buffer is typically a type descriptor,
     ie  TELOPT_TTYPE. The next byte is a procession option, such
     as TELQUAL_IS.  Following this is the type  dependent  data.
     In the case of a terminal type call, the data will be routed
     through through the terminal_type() apply instead.

     Possible suboptions:

          #define TELQUAL_IS    0 // option is...
          #define TELQUAL_SEND  1 // send options
          #define TELQUAL_INFO  2 // ENVIRON: informational version of IS
          #define TELQUAL_REPLY 3 // AUTHENTICATION: client version of IS
          #define TELQUAL_NAME  4 // AUTHENTICATION: client version of IS
